common requests. We'll improve this in future, but for now the easiest
way to either reduce the RAM usage (at the risk of slowing things down)
is to set the almost-undocumented ``SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR`` environment
variable. Roughly speaking, a SYNAPSE_CACHE_FACTOR of 1.0 will max out
at around 3-4GB of resident memory - this is what we currently run the
matrix.org on. The default setting is currently 0.1, which is probably

desired, which targets roughly ~512MB. Conversely you can dial it up if

in memory constrained enviroments, or increased if performance starts to
degrade.
